Recommendations<br />

For Completing a Sidewalk, Trails & Path Network<br />

It is important to continue to celebrate the work that has<br />

been done to improve walks and trails in Minden.<br />

Ensure all new walks and trails comply with guidelines.<br />

Clarify strategy regarding retro-fitting and repairing existing<br />

walks for accessibility.<br />

A detailed analysis and design will be required for the<br />

following projects to determine the feasibility (space /<br />

property available, public support, cost, etc.).<br />

Selected projects to be included in a Five Year Capital<br />

Improvements Budget. Public consultation should be<br />

a central component. Projects in order of priority<br />

Implementation Strategies Resources &<br />

Partners<br />

Incorporate sesquicentennial celebrations into<br />

the pedestrian bridge and Riverwalk Trail<br />

development.<br />

Clarify Minden’s policy on barrier-free design<br />

for all new and existing infrastructure.<br />

An "accessible" trail or walk is one that<br />

complies with legal standards for access by<br />

people with disabilities. The Accessibility for<br />

Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005) and the<br />

Ontario Building Code - Section 3.8 Barrier<br />

Free Design are examples of legal standards<br />

against which a facility can be judged<br />

"accessible" or "not accessible".<br />
